"It advocates for Classical liberal economic and conservative[citation needed] social policies."

I'd argue that this statement is factually incorrect, as I have attended CIS events, where drug legalisation was a discussion topic. I'd hardly consider this to be socially conservative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.167.190.133 (talk) 03:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I second this comment. The CIS is a supporter of libertarian social policies, along the lines of Milton Friedman, who was an advocate for the legalisation of drugs. They have not done much research on drugs policy, but describing their views as "conservative" is not consistent with their stated philosophy. The CIS' classical liberal ideology would be open to gay marriage, for instance. Mookrit (talk) 13:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of "liberal"?

Is the adjective "liberal" in this article being used with the same meaning as it has in the US, or in the sense of the values of Australia's Liberal Party? Vaughan Pratt (talk) 04:58, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Too many primary sources

This article cites it's own subject far too often. I've removed a bunch of fancrufty claims, unverifiable claims...and one claim linked to a fringe socialist site!...this article certainly read like it was written by a member of the CIS (with the exception of that wacky socialist citation, lol). We should not me citing CIS or any of it's contributors/members, ideally and certainly not fringe socialist blogs - as per WP:RELIABLE. Reliable secondary sources are the best (academia, mainstream news etc). Using the CIS to cite an article about the CIS is dodgy...as per WP:MANDY, they would say great things about themselves.
